Raid 0 on thinkpad t410?

#1 Post by TheMagicT410 » Sat Mar 05, 2016 11:23 am

hello. this is my first post on the forum and the question i am asking is that i was wondering if it is possible to set a drive to raid 0 in any chance as i currently do not have the budget to get a ssd to get better performance since i spent £30 on 8gb ram from crucial (which gave me slow 800 mhz ram) and around £60 on a intel core i7 640m (yes i do know it wasnt a option but i did some research and found out that dose support the pga988 socket i had on my t410 and the same QM57 chipset). i had before 4gb ram and a i5 520m as i wanted to get more fps in some games. is it possible thanks. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

T410 does not support raid. W520 was the earliest model that supported raid, but you needed to buy it from lenovo with it enabled. Otherwise, you need to get a different motherboard.
